What is Ultimate?

Ultimate Frisbee, also referred to as Ultimate, is a non-contact fast-paced field sport that combines the speed, stamina and agility of sports such as football and basketball. Ultimate is played with two teams of seven on a large rectangular field. The object of the game is to move the Frisbee (plastic disc) up the field by passing the disc from team-mate to team-mate until completing a pass in the opponent’s end-zone. Transitions between offence and defence are quick and constant, occurring whenever the disc is dropped, intercepted, passed out of bounds, or held by the player for more than ten seconds.

Unlike many other sports, Ultimate is played without traditional referees; instead, the players themselves mediate the game. This mode of self-refereeing upholds the governing “Spirit of the Game” philosophy of Ultimate as the sport places the responsibility for fair play directly on the players. The “Spirit of the Game” philosophy instils Ultimate with a unique spirit of sportsmanship that encourages a tradition of mutual respect and unity among all players – both on and off the field. And the best part is that it works. Beautifully.
